摘要

The electrochemical performance of Li-rich Mn-based oxides (LMO) cathode materials is generally improved by constructing a micro-nano heterostructure. In the present work, a typical LMO of Li1.2Mn0.54Co0.13Ni0.13O2 (LMCN), exhibiting a distinct spherical micro-nano heterostructure, is prepared by combining carbon-containing droplet combustion and air calcination methods. The analysis of morphology, structure, and electrochemical performance of LMCN indicates that the micro-nano structure of LMCN is composed of micron-sized spherical powder comprising nanoscale primary particles. At charging and discharging conditions of 0.2 C, the initial discharge specific capacity and columbic efficiency are estimated to be 262.048 mAh/g and 74%. Moreover, the developed LMCN cathode material has also exhibited high rate capability (with a discharge specific capacity of 75.174 mAh/g at 10 C), indicating its promising application prospect. CV and EIS results also confirm the improved electrochemical kinetics of LMCN evidenced by oxidation peaks at approximately 4.0 and 4.6 V with low Rs of 6.1 Ω, and a small Rct of 200 Ω. Furthermore, the formation mechanism for the micro-nano structure of LMCN is also discussed in detail.
